New York Apple retail union organizers are asking for $30 an hour
Nowhere in that statement does it say that everyone would make $30, regardless of performance. Quite to the contrary, it states that wages would start at $30 and build from there, based on role, tenure, and performance.AppleInsider said:"For pay, we seek a minimum $30 for all workers, built up on a matrix based on role, tenure, and performance," the organizers wrote.
$30/hr would certainly be too much to pay for the kind of critique being leveled here so far.

Police officer celebrates 'cool' Apple Watch fall detection
New York City has more than 36,000 police officers operating out on the streets, with 9600 vehicles. The New York Fire Department employs 4,400 EMC staff, stationed in 218 Firehouses holding 450 ambulances.leftoverbacon said:Why are police being dispatched for someone falling down? That's like grabbing a hammer to fix a broken light bulb. EMS should have made that call.
All police officers have some level of EMS training. When seconds count, how long do you want to wait for EMS? A well run government would send the closest available resource to help. That is almost always the police.

Apple Silicon Mac Pro could combine two M1 Ultra chips for speed
Think carefully about what you've shown. Neither of the configurations allow for doubling the RAM, and RAM bandwidth. That's instant no-go.Xed said:
I hear what you're saying, but I don't think your logic that because we haven't got a glimpse about another interconnect means that it's impossible. As for "nothing on die" we have no way of knowing what's on that die that could tie 4 chips together. If Apple can make an interconnect to tie two M1 Maxes together why do you think it's impossible for them make another one that will tie 4 of them together? Is this based solely on the configuration shown above?bsimpsen said:
The UltraFusion interconnect strip was first spotted months ago, and it's only on one edge of the Max die. There is nothing on the die that would connect to the vertical strip shown in your mockup. Any interconnect circuitry on the die would also have to be on both sides, as the die is rotated 180 degrees for the M1 Ultra connection. Memory bandwidth in the configuration you've shown would also be cut in half for each M1 Max chip, as each is now connected to only two memory modules instead of four.Marvin said:
Maybe but they could also have designed the Ultra chip to be able to join to other Ultra chips in which case it doesn't need a new name. The diagram shows two M1 Ultras connected in the middle using a different connector:stuartf said:Except…
John Turnes of Apple quite literally said that the M1 Ultra completes the M1 line up just days ago
It is more likely that the MacPro will be based on M2 silicon or even a completely different design
The Mac Pro can be offered with M1 Ultra at the entry level and an M1 Ultra Duo. There is no higher name than Ultra. Pro = better, Max = maximum, Ultra = beyond maximum. They can only call it Ultra something like infinity + 1. I expect they will be able to offer 256GB RAM on the Ultra Duo. The amount of RAM they need to offer is just what people have been installing, they don't need to support 1TB+ just because other computers do.
I think it's safe to say this isn't happening.
How about putting all the M1 Max interconnects facing towards each other with Apple obviously making another Interconnect that would tie all 4 together with another chip? I think it's doable, I just don't know if the number of Mac Pros being sold would warrant the cost of development and production.
I have no idea what Apple will do, but I'm not going to say it's impossible simply because it hasn't been done yet.

I agree.programmer said:My guess is that the Mac Pro will use the same M1 Ultra as the Mac Studio does.

Mac Studio with M1 Ultra is heavier because of heat & material choices
As Mpantone notes, the CPU isn't the only thing needing power. In addition to all the other internal bits, the Mac Studio must also be able to provide power to devices plugged into the USB ports. The published tech specs on the purchase page don't indicate how much total power is available, but it might be substantial.dk49 said:Why does this need 370W power supply if its peak performance can be achieved at 100W?
